Division

I have asked students to practice at  home one division problem a day.

They are to practice dividing a two-digit number by a one-digit number with and without remainders.  Example: 89 divided by 7=12Remainder 5

When students can do this division, they are to gradually work up to the 5th grade standard of dividing a 4 digit number by a 2 digit number.  


Thanks to parents/guardians for helping students at home with math!
